“…Finally, the solution obtained via sol-gel, hydrothermal, and solvothermal processes is processed on a substrates such as glass in the form of thin film using deposition techniques such as spin coating [ 40 ], spray pyrolysis, [ 41 ] dip-coating, [ 42 ] etc. Furthermore, in addition to these deposition techniques, aerosol-assisted CVD (AACVD) [ 25 ], electrospinning [ 43 ], and electrodeposition [ 23 ] are also considered because the starting material is in solution form (precursor solutions).…”

“…Furthermore, the In and Al co-doped ZnO (AIZO) thin films were prepared with spray pyrolysis, and the precursor solution was synthesized via the sol-gel process [ 41 ]. While investigating the effect of different Al and In doping levels on the properties of the AIZO thin film, the author suggested that 1.5% is the optimal level for In/Al.…”

With the continuous growth in the optoelectronic industry, the demand for novel and highly efficient materials is also growing. Specifically, the demand for the key component of several optoelectronic devices, i.e., transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), is receiving significant attention. The major reason behind this is the dependence of the current technology on only one material—indium tin oxide (ITO). Even though ITO still remains a highly efficient material, its high cost and the worldwide scarcity of indium creates an urgency for finding an alternative. In this regard, doped zinc oxide (ZnO), in particular, solution-processed aluminum doped ZnO (AZO), is emerging as a leading candidate to replace ITO due to its high abundant and exceptional physical/chemical properties. In this mini review, recent progress in the development of solution-processed AZO is presented. Beside the systematic review of the literature, the solution processable approaches used to synthesize AZO and the effect of aluminum doping content on the functional properties of AZO are also discussed. Moreover, the co-doping strategy (doping of aluminum with other elements) used to further improve the properties of AZO is also discussed and reviewed in this article.

“…Spray pyrolysis, also known as ultrasonic spray pyrolysis, is a method of preparing ceramic particles with high purity and rapid crystallization speed, which is widely used in the production of thin films. The process of the metal salt as required for the preparation of compound powder stoichiometric match into the precursor solution, after atomizer atomized by the carrier gas into high temperature (400℃-600℃) reactor [13], instantaneous solvent evaporation in the reactor, the solute precipitation formation of solid particles, dry particles, particles thermal decomposition, sintering molding and a series of physical and chemical process, Finally, a superfine powder is formed. The solution can be atomized into micron or even nano-level uniformly with the application of ultrasonic atomization technology.…”

Generally, the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) has been regarded as a potential substitution for LiCoO2 as the cathode material for its properties of low cost, small toxicity, high security and long life. However, it still has many disadvantages like poor electrical conductivity and low ion mobility. This article will focus on the preparation of lithium iron phosphate cathode materials successfully at the present stage, introduce its development status, and predict the future development direction of such materials. Analysis shows that with significant modification and process, both performance and cost of this material will be significantly improved. These results show some potential ways for the further wide application of LFP positive electrode.

A batch of ZnO thin films, pure and doped with molybdenum (up to 2 mol %), were prepared using the spray pyrolysis technique on glass and silicon substrates. The effect of molybdenum concentration on the morphology, structure and optical properties of the films was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results show a wurtzite polycrystalline crystal structure. The average crystallite size increases from 30 to 80 nm with increasing molybdenum content. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images demonstrate a smooth and homogeneous surface with densely spaced nanocrystalline grains. The number of nuclei increases, growing over the entire surface of the substrate with uniform grains, when the molybdenum concentration is increased to 2 mol %. The estimated root mean square (RMS) roughness values for the undoped and doped with 1 mol % and 2 mol % of ZnO thin films, defined by atomic force microscopy (AFM), are 6.12, 23.54 and 23.83 nm, respectively. The increase in Mo concentration contributes to the increase in film transmittance.
